7 Israel is the vineyard of the Lord Almighty;the people of Judah are the vines he planted.He expected them to do what was good,but instead they committed murder.He expected them to do what was right,but their victims cried out for justice.
8 You are doomed! You buy more houses and fields to add to those you already have. Soon there will be no place for anyone else to live, and you alone will live in the land.
9 I have heard the Lord Almighty say, “All these big, fine houses will be empty ruins.
10 The grapevines growing on five acres of land will yield only five gallons of wine. Ten bushels of seed will produce only one bushel of grain.”
11 You are doomed! You get up early in the morning to start drinking, and you spend long evenings getting drunk.
12 At your feasts you have harps and tambourines and flutes—and wine. But you don't understand what the Lord is doing,
13 and so you will be carried away as prisoners. Your leaders will starve to death, and the common people will die of thirst.
